Slightly ontopic, noticed this in a Danish newspaper a short while ago: Bye, bye England? SNP plans closer Scandinavian ties after independence The Scandinavia and the World Webcomic version

Probably way more than 50 here, but some of them are bought "bulk", as in the Indie Humble Bundle and some serious attempts at branching out a bit by trying genres that I would normally not look twice at. Point and click adventures, TPS fighting games like DMC4 and Dead Space, some simple kill anything that moves games etc. Guess I got tired of always playing the same 4-5 games/franchises for a decade

Nice one I especially love this quote The report argues that piracy is only a significant concern for "large foreign production companies," and that these large companies need to adapt to new consumer behavior rather than seeking further legislative changes. And, the report says, "fears that these changes have a negative impact on the Swiss cultural creativity are unfounded." Funny coming from the same country whose national industry is export of lethal baby formula to third world countries killing thousands of infants, the safe keeping of Nazi gold, the treasuries of various dictators, organised crime assets and pride themselves of not giving out any information, regardless of how shady their clients are, as long as they are not Swiss. If they had had a software industry of their own, they might have been whistling a different tune. Nice role models you've got yourself there

It doesn't help that the demo shows the worst part of the game. The combat?

Gamersgate has a price drop "alert" that you can set up independently of your wish list. Made me a few deals the last couple of years

Sounds a bit like Grotesque Tactics. Have you been adventuring with His Semi-Divine Self?

Fire the project manager I don't know what the project was about, but it sounds like a number of team members failed the "real life" test.

It would be politically incorrect of me to encourage such things

I haven't followed it too closely, only trying to prevent people from bashing each other when discussing it I seem to have picked up from the BETA discussion thread in the C&C section, that it takes place a long time (a generation or so?) after Kotor. MMO's aren't really my thing, so not paying more attention than I have to. It's entirely possible that it takes place just before. If you want to skim through the thread, there are a lot of spoilers and story snippets to pick up. Edit to add: Link to thread mentioned

Lucas Arts owns all rights to it. thats strange then because if they own all rights why would they put kotor 1 up on steam and not 2 Because the story of Kotor2 doesn't fit in with what they've planned for ToR (the MMO)? Just guessing.

Not true. Khorne loves blood and skulls. More religious Sigmar/Emperor loving zealots than you can shake a tentacle at and ritual virgin sacrifices are is fine art that people are very passionate about. As for romances, I'm sure the tragic love story of Jaq Draco and Meh'lindi would qualify. In it's own quirky WH40K way THQ have been sitting on those licenses for so long without doing anything but bad shooters and mediocre RTS games. The P&P roleplaying systems have been around for like what, two decades now and never seen a video game?

To put it in less words than Volourn, you have been affected by pirates whether you realise it or not. DRM is a response to both piracy and the attitude of those that feel that only other people should pay for stuff. Complaining about DRM and not the pirates is shooting the messenger. The airport security measures are an apt comparison. You get x-rayed through your underwear and bodily searched even if you are innocent, because some people don't "play by the rules" to get what they want.

There are days I'm really happy not having a "smart" phone... Bye bye privacy I don't remember if it wasn't already mentioned in the science thread, but I thought it interesting. Not sure how I found it, as I was looking for news about the disarming of the 2 tonne WWII bomb in Koblenz

Not really, actually there are no less than 3 threads (2 in this section), so lets cut down just a bit on the numbers Ongoing discussion about South Park RPG here

Shows you never get too old to learn something new. Stumbled across this video on TV a short while ago and actually liked it. Might have to check her discography. Lana Del Rey - Video Games

Thought the first game was ok, will get this during a STEAM sale. Gamersgate for me, but yeah. The first one was worth it's money and in this price range, you don't really take great risks

Which is why the entertainment industry of the future is going to be MMO's for computers and Reality Show X, the movie for watching on streaming TV when the cinema is dead. The only way you can find investors for a project is if the product can be reasonably expected to sells. If you can't protect your investment, you go out of business, simple as that. For me it's not a big loss, I haven't seen a movie in the cinema for 6 years (nothing released that interested me) and my gaming is very limited, since my taste belongs to a dying breed, but there is a not insignificant group of people who seems addicted to entertainment and can't get enough of it. They are also busy shooting themselves in their collective feet, complaining about the lack of quality releases no less (probably some kind of irony in there) )

Lucas Arts owns all rights to it.

Just speculation on my part. Considering how they were advertising for 2D artists specifically, it wouldn't be too farfetched to expect a "toon" style. May or may not be same visual style as the TV show.

I'm almost willing to bet a beer, that the Outta Space persons and the little comments regarding them are from the Aliens game

No room for misinterpretation

Your safest bet is probably using regular mail. Obsidian Entertainment 8105 Irvine Center Drive, Suite 200 Irvine, CA 92618-3096 USA Using C/O Something appropriate. Alternatively, their main office phone no. may be listed in the Yellow Pages or some such similar thing.

This is unusual and cruel punishment

I've got that one on my wishlist at Gamersgate. I enjoyed the first one tremendously. I enjoyed it too. I can't say for the moment about this second installment since I've not played a lot, but it seems to be close with a bit more attention to graphic details (which wasn't really necessary to my taste, but ok). I thought that 16 euro was a good price for it. I loved the little animations when fighting critters. Please share what you think when you've gotten some ways through GT2
